Watch: Charlamagne tha God tells Chris Wallace why Trump appears to be 'picking up Black support'

17 November 2023

Democratic strategists realize that in order to be reelected in 2024, President Joe Biden will need a heavy Black voter turnout. Some polls, however, are showing 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump picking up more Black support than he received in 2020.

CNN's Chris Wallace discussed those polls with radio host Charlamagne tha God during a recent interview. Wallace, formerly of Fox News, asked him to "explain" why, according to polls, Trump is "picking up support among Black voters — and especially among young Black voters."

Charlamagne told Wallace, "If you have a community that feels like they've never been spoken to by the government ever…. and all of a sudden, you start getting stimulus checks in the mail…. for $1200, and this man's name is on them…. You just simply feel seen."

The radio host went on to discuss criminal justice reform, telling Wallace, "If you know somebody who actually came home because of the First Step Act, and you have Donald Trump taking credit for that, that's another thing you can point to…. This is the guy taking credit for all of these things happening. And believe it or not, that stuff is having an impact."

Wallace asked Charlamagne if "Democratic politicians take the Black vote for granted" and "get offended when somebody like you just asks them a question, just challenges them. And the rapper responded, "Oh, 100 percent."

Charlamagne told Wallace, "Anytime you're a person that people think is left-leaning, if you simply question what the Democratic Party is doing, you either get accused of being a closeted Republican — or, you know, attempting to help Donald Trump win elections."
